Ringtones worth seeing now available in Canada

Now Canadians can watch their mobile phones ring thanks to Virgin Mobile and Nokia Canada's launch of the Nokia 3155i handset, the first mobile phone in Canada to support downloadable Virgin Mobile videotones. Named 'The Groove', this phone gives Canadians the long- awaited opportunity to view video clips that ring and play each time someone calls.

All-new video content, including videotones, videoclips and video screensavers, make 'The Groove' perfect for Virgin Mobile customers who want to express themselves in whole new ways:

- For adrenaline junkies a series of branded extreme sports video

screensavers featuring hang gliders, snowboarders and skateboarders.

- For the young-at-heart, the mundane moments in life can be sliced with

videotones like Happy Flowers, Golly - it's a mullet makeover and

Rocker's Chug

- For the Hollywood devotee, video screensavers from recently released

movies and hit television shows.

- For the playful type, video screensavers of your favorite cartoon

characters.

- For more video downloads visit www.virginmobile.ca

"Videotones are going to be the hottest way for Virgin Mobile users to express their personalities using their mobile phones," said Andrew Black, President and CEO, Virgin Mobile Canada. "Along with our new All Nighter plan - unlimited evening calling from 6:00 p.m. for $24 per month - new and existing Virgin customers are going to be very excited with our new innovative and entertaining video offerings."

Virgin Mobile partnered with m-Qube, a leading mobile channel enabler, to launch these first of their kind videotones, video screensavers and video clips in Canada. The selection is available to download from virginmobile.ca, and range in price from $1.50 to $4.95.

'The Groove' is not just about video. The brushed black Nokia 3155i mobile phone features dual displays, including a large, brilliant 262K colour 128 x 160 pixel primary screen. There is plenty of storage on 'The Groove' with 12MB of user memory for images, downloadable applications, Virgin Mobile Musictones and PDA information. A built-in speakerphone and PC synchronization for PDA information helps users stay organized. Voice dialing, voice commands and voice memos make it easy for even the most social Virgin Mobile customer to stay in touch with friends. And the integrated stereo FM radio gives The Groove users the luxury of having a built-in soundtrack wherever they step (headset sold separately).

"Nokia and Virgin Mobile are the first to bring the newest tech trend - video ringtones - to life in Canada with the Nokia 3155i," says Tejas Rao, Director of Technology, Nokia Canada. "Video ringtones are already popular in Europe and Asia. With the ringtone market alone worth multiple billions globally, we expect video ringtones to quickly grow in popularity here in Canada as well."

The Nokia 3155i handset is available now, exclusively from Virgin Mobile for $149(MSRP). Virgin Mobile phones can be purchased at select retailers including Best Buy, Future Shop, Bell World/Espace Bell, London Drugs, Dumoulin and Virgin Mobile Mini-Stores, as well as online at www.virginmobile.ca or www.nokia.ca , as well as through the Virgin call centre at 1.888.999.2321.
